I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

pickGhosts, grief, madness, tragedy, and history made for a very entertaining story. The narrator for the audio format is wonderful; I didn‘t want to stop listening.
Though not festive in spirit, it‘s a perfect winter season read.❄️
pickMoody and atmospheric. And rather sad. Is it a ghost story? I wondered right up until the end.

#BookReport. The tagged book for #LMPBC was a surprise. It was a quick and enjoyable read and is my #DoubleSpin. And I really liked all my others except the Erdrich which was a low pick. I‘ve just started Love Hypothesis so no opinion yet and the other two are ok.
@julieclair Winter Ghosts will be on its way to you this week. @Jerdencon @BookBosomed1
Forgot to take a pic of the book before I sealed the envelope but it was put in the mail today #lmpbc #groupw @BookBosomed1 @Deblovestoread @julieclair
My pick for #lmpbc #groupw arrived yesterday- can‘t wait to start it! @julieclair @BookBosomed1 @Deblovestoread
pickHF with paranormal elements. Past and present will be connected to find a closure: to Freddy‘s sadness and to Fabrissa‘s story. I can understand why many people don‘t like this novel, it is slow, very sad with many details. But that is author‘s style. I read it in physical book. Some criticism to the novel is the date of some of the events but I think it could be symbolic to emphasized the end of that period of time. I want to avoid spoilers👇

pickDiscounting that this was an odd read as the weather turned warmer I enjoyed. It was not as ri h or full of depth as her previous books (which may be why it sat on shelf for forever!) but I enjoyed the themes and her exceptional sense of time and place. Possible one for a reread come Halloween season . Interested was this positioned as YA ?
The cover of this book called to me, my new read while I take a break from reading off my tablet.
Should probably read this one, started on it before Christmas, and forgot all about it 😅📖
1st September read! Freddie Watson, grieving the loss of his brother in the war is caught in a snowstorm and takes refuge in an isolated village and there meets a beautiful, captivating woman. They spend a night talking of love and loss and war. But by daybreak, Fabrissa has vanished and Freddie realised he holds the key to an ancient mystery that leads him deep into the mountains, to a cave that has concealed an appalling secret for 700 years.
"We are who we are because of those we choose to love and because of those who love us."
pickQuick, enjoyable read. After finishing, I read the author‘s note about the inspiration behind the story. I would like to learn more about Catharism, a medieval Christian heresy prevalent during the fourteenth century. If you‘re a fan of history, unrequited love, and ghost stories this will be a delicious read. Also, a perfect winter themed book, with the atmosphere and setting.

pickHauntingly atmospheric with a really great cast of central characters. The timeslip between the 1920s and medieval France is so beautifully created with such descriptive elements you really do slip into the pages and become one with the book. Once you start the first page it's pointless trying to put it down, the story stays with you till you finish. Magical!

I stopped at #DollarTree on the way to work for ANOTHER successful book haul! Including one that I ordered and just shipped to my #SummerSantaGoesPostal match. I sent a paperback and found a hardcover for myself. It's one I really enjoyed.
bailedStarted off strong but petered out towards the middle and I lost interest.
Well, I guess at least I'm back in the audiobook groove. Thoughts on this one?
3 of my favorite things! Reading, Peanuts and Thin Mints! Oh Sunday how I love thee!!
I don't know where or when I bought this book. But every time I look at it, I know why: this glossy cover, these lovely endpapers, the #deckleedge, & these evocative illustrations scattered throughout. This book is a work of art.
And lucky for me, it turned out to be a great read, too🙂📚❤️

Such a busy Saturday...
This one came in the mail today too. I got it off #BookMooch Have I told y'all about bookmooch.com? It's a book swapping site, it's in different countries so anyone can use it. You list books you want to give and when someone mooches one you get points to Mooch a book when you find one that you want. The selection isn't always great, but if you are patient you never know what you'll find! More people = more books and a greater variety.
This is THE book to read if you want something to curl up with on a snowy day with your favorite hot beverage. I don't even know how it ended up in my house. But I'm really glad it did.
